Toshomen Hinabe SeianryoriShian Iidabashi

Went here for lunch for soup. The place is located on the 4th floor in a building just west of shinjuku station near yodabashi store. You step out of the elevator, and into a bit of china. The place was pretty busy and had a line maybe 20 people long when we arrived. The line moved pretty fast. The...y make hand made noodles and the soups were amazing. It is also very reasonably priced. Me and my partner both got soup and a plate of dumplings to share and it came to 2000jpy. no english menus, but you could order by pointing at the pictures. The soup had this wonderful fresh cilantro taste to it which is not a very common flavour in Japan. They have red stars on the menu this denotes the spiciness level. Overall I was surprised how great this place was.

What can I say...Japan has its fair share of good restaurants but I love the food here so much I trekked across town for more. The aubergine with salt and Chinese pepper is fiery and anesthetising at the same time (with craft!). The dim sum are fantastic and don't get me started on the chef expert...ly firing noodles of s big block of noodle dough into the boiling stock...the best Chinese I've ever had is...in Japan!
